We moved to Rock hall, MD last year and my wife told me she wants a bay boat. A good bay boat. God I love this woman! My friend's 27 Maycraft PH was our only real reference point having gone out on several outings with them so I set out searching for a used Maycraft or Parker. I quickly eliminated the Maycraft option once I saw several used Parker 2520's and was able to compare fit and finish, test rides, etc. I also quickly realized that the newer used Parkers in very good to excellent condition were commanding big bucks, with little or no warrantys, needing electronics updating, not knowing the "true" motor condition, not having all the features I wanted, etc (yeah I know a Yammy computer memory dump and a hull survey will tell you a few things, but...). So as a sanity check we checked in with a MD Parker dealer to see what a new 2520 XL would cost. We were convinced (those dealers sure are sumptin') that a brand new very well equipped and somewhat discounted 2520XL would be a way better value in the long run. So, we got this 2013 2520 XL w/ a Yam 300 xca motor being built right now in Beaufort, NC and the coolest thing is that I get to go down there on the 16th to visit the factory. Life doesn't get any better than this, except to actually be on the water with this baby. I'll have to wait till early Aug to do that 
. So anyway, I want to hear about any Parker rendezvous scheduled on the Chesapeake later this year or just general Parker GSTK stuff from other Parker owners. Thanks. You can hate me now! :lol:
